Willie is an extinct town in Liberty County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.

History

A post office called Willie was established in 1911, and remained in operation until 1914. The community was named after Nellie Willie Lee Tuten, the child of a first settler.

The hamlet of Willie disappeared when the town site was seized for the creation of a military installation. Residents were evacuated in the 1940s. Today, the former town site is within the borders of Fort Stewart.
